- 📖 Mark ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ The swift gospel of the Son of God in action — authority and the road to the cross, and the call to follow the suffering servant.
- 📖 Luke ΚΑΤΑ ΛΟΥΚΑΝ The gospel for the lost and the lowly — an ordered account, the great reversals, prayer and the Spirit, and salvation reaching the nations.

Pauline Epistles
- 📖 Romans ΠΡΟΣ ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ Paul's fullest exposition of the gospel — sin and wrath, justification by faith, life in the Spirit, Israel and election, and the transformed life.
- 📖 1 Corinthians ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡΙΝΘΙΟΥΣ Α′ The cross as God's wisdom against worldly wisdom and division — then the Corinthian questions: immorality, marriage, idol-food, worship, gifts, love, and the resurrection of the dead.
- 📖 2 Corinthians ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡΙΝΘΙΟΥΣ Β′ Paul's most personal letter — comfort in affliction, the glory and integrity of the new-covenant ministry, the collection for the saints, and the defense of his apostleship against the 'super-apostles.'
- 📖 Galatians ΠΡΟΣ ΓΑΛΑΤΑΣ No other gospel: justification by faith, not works of the law — Abraham and the promise, the law as guardian, freedom in Christ, and the fruit of the Spirit.
- 📖 Ephesians ΠΡΟΣ ΕΦΕΣΙΟΥΣ The blessing in Christ and the one new humanity — election and redemption, Jew and Gentile reconciled, the church as body and temple, and the worthy walk.
- 📖 Philippians ΠΡΟΣ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΗΣΙΟΥΣ Joy and partnership from prison — the mind of Christ in self-emptying and exaltation, righteousness through faith, and contentment with the peace of God.
- 📖 Colossians ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΛΟΣΣΑΕΙΣ The supremacy and all-sufficiency of Christ, in whom the fullness of deity dwells — against every rival 'philosophy' — and the new life raised with him.
- 📖 1 Thessalonians ΠΡΟΣ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΕΙΣ Α′ Thanksgiving for a model church's faith, love, and hope; a tender defense of Paul's ministry; and the coming of the Lord — for the dead in Christ and the living.
- 📖 2 Thessalonians ΠΡΟΣ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΕΙΣ Β′ The righteous judgment at Christ's revelation, the man of lawlessness and the restrainer before the day of the Lord, and the command to work and not be idle.
- 📖 1 Timothy ΠΡΟΣ ΤΙΜΟΘΕΟΝ Α′ Order in God's household — silencing false teachers, qualifications for overseers and deacons, godliness with contentment, and the charge to guard the deposit.
- 📖 2 Timothy ΠΡΟΣ ΤΙΜΟΘΕΟΝ Β′ Paul's last words — guard the deposit and fan the gift into flame, endure hardship, the God-breathed Scriptures, and 'I have fought the good fight.'
- 📖 Titus ΠΡΟΣ ΤΙΤΟΝ Order and good works on Crete — qualified elders, sound teaching for the household, and the saving grace of our great God and Savior who trains us.
- 📖 Philemon ΠΡΟΣ ΦΙΛΗΜΟΝΑ A private appeal of grace and reconciliation: receive back the runaway Onesimus, no longer a slave but a beloved brother.
- 📖 Hebrews ΠΡΟΣ ΕΒΡΑΙΟΥΣ God's final word in the Son — superior to angels, Moses, and the Levitical priesthood; the great high priest after Melchizedek, his once-for-all sacrifice, and the call to faith and endurance. (Anonymous; traditionally appended to Paul.)
